Ranger's Future
I was just looking on Blue Oval News and apparently Ford plans to shut down the plant where the ranger is produced in 2009. Just thought you all would like to know that. Currently there are no definate plans for a replacement.

I was shooting my mouth off over at a Mazda3 forum to a guy that just traded his 3 for a new Nissan 2WD. He confessed that his brother works at a plant that makes F150's in Virginia. He said something about them being told that they were going to be building the 'Ranger replacement'. Basically suggesting to him that Ford had a new, probably mid-size replacement in the ranks ready for production as early as '08.. Although he has since posted saying instead they passed notice that the plant is instead closing in 18 months! I dunno what that all means, but that's the hearsay I've heard.. |

a ranger with a powerstroke would possibly be the best thing ever.
id haul my flying pig everywhere! |
I'd love a turbo desiel Ranger. My boss with Turbo back exaust, intake and a chip gets 18mpg towing 15-20k lbs from here to cali doing 75 te whole way. Usually he gets about 24mpg. I mean this is on a freakin 7.3L Excursion. My ranger gets about 16.2mpg if I keep my foot off it.
